No. By some convention (better ask about it on [email protected]) the path where executable files are created is C:\Python33\Scripts\ - check for spyder.bat or spyder.exe there. > Why is this essential information (how to start) not documented? > The way to start Spyder depends in installation method. It looks like you've installed Spyder using Python standard distutils package. It is also possible to use installers that do extra work - like providing system shortcuts etc. or launch Spyder from source checkout, like I do using bootstrap script. So, where do you look for documentation? How do I fix the documentation? Thanks for asking. The easiest way is to edit files online through Google Code. 1. Open GC source code browser Spyder Source: https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse/<https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse/README> Wiki Source: https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse?repo=wiki 2. Navigate to the page in question, for example, to README https://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse/README 3. If you're logged into GC, you'll see an Edit file link in the blue header at the top of file content pane 4. Edit file and click suggest a path - new issue will be automatically created for us to track More complicated way is to work through Mercurial. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
